  • Planning Performance Framework Planning and Building Standards Service
    West Dunbartonshrie Council Planning Performance Framework Planning and Building Standards Service July 2016 Foreword Welcome to the fifth Planning Performance Framework and thank you for your interest in the Planning and Building Standards service in West Dunbartonshire. The Planning Performance Framework outlines our performance and shows our achievements, actions and improvements in 2015-16. It also outlines our proposed service improvements for 2016-17. A different approach to the assessment of last year’s Planning Performance Framework was taken whereby a peer review was undertaken by East Dunbartonshire Council who are part of our Solace Grouping. We also peer reviewed their Planning Performance Framework. Their feedback advised: “ Good example of a well-written, concise PPF report. As a result this is accessible to external stakeholders.” This review and the peer review of the East Dunbartonshire Planning Performance Framework helped shape this year’s Framework. West Dunbartonshire is one of the smallest local authorities in Scotland with just over 90,000 residents and is made up of rural, urban and waterfront locations. The Planning Authority excludes parts of Balloch and the countryside to the east and west of Loch Lomond which forms part of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park planning authority area. In 2015 the Senior Management structure of West Dunbartonshire Council was reviewed and a new smaller senior leadership team was created to drive the Council’s priorities from April 2016. Planning and Building Standards now sits under the Strategic Lead for Regulatory having moved from Regeneration and Economic Development. A number of the Council’s key capital projects are progressing well on site such as the new Clydebank leisure centre, the Dumbarton care home and a number of new schools: Bellsmyre co-educational campus; Kilpatrick special needs school; and the Balloch campus.

  • Introduction. Bonhill Parish in Olden Times, According to Early Charters, Was Spelt “Bochlul” “Buthelulle” and “Bohtlul”
    Introduction. Bonhill Parish in olden times, according to early charters, was spelt “Bochlul” “Buthelulle” and “Bohtlul”. The Parish derives its name from the Gaelic word Bog-n’- uill, meaning “foot of the rivulet”. Gradually through the years the word changed until we now have Bonhill. The villages of Bonhill Parish are better known as the Vale of Leven and are named Bonhill, Jamestown, Balloch and Alexandria. They are all situated in the Leven Valley through which the river Leven flows, the second swiftest river in Scotland. According to reliable authorities the first reference to Bonhill Parish, that so far has been found, is in a charter of 1270. This charter was granted by Maldowen, the third Earl of Lennox in confirming a grant made to the church at Glasgow of “the land of Hachenkeroch, in the Parish of Buthelulle”. The Vale of Leven is bounded on the north by Loch Lomond on the south by the Burgh of Dumbarton, the tail end of the Grampians on the west and a lesser range of hills on· the east. The Vale of Leven is famous for its romantic beauty and go where you will there is no place to compare with “the beautiful Vale”. There is one snag and that is capitalism. The industrialists in erecting their factories gave no consideration to the beauty of the valley and ugly factories were dumped down with large chimney stalks reaching to the sky, belching foul black smoke. The Vale of Leven is the gateway to Loch Lomond, the most beautiful Loch in the world.

  • West Dunbartonshire Council
    WEST DUNBARTONSHIRE COUNCIL Report by the Chief Executive Community Participation Committee: 19 November 2008 ___________________________________________________________________ Subject: Scottish Parliament Constituency Boundaries 1. Purpose 1.1 The Committee, at its meeting on 17 September 2008, requested a background report on the current proposals to amend the constituency boundaries for the Scottish Parliament. 2. Background 2.1 Legislation provides for regular reviews of constituency boundaries and the new boundaries will be in effect for the next Scottish Parliament elections to be held in May 2011. Reviews are carried out by the Boundaries Commission for Scotland. 2.2 The Commission published its provisional proposals for the review on 14 February 2008. These proposals advertised in the local press and notices with explanatory information were lodged for consultation in council offices and main libraries. The proposals were submitted to Council at its meeting of 27 February. They comprise:- 1) linking two of West Dunbartonshire’s wards, Clydebank Central and Clydebank Waterfront, with part of the Renfrewshire Council area to create the North Renfrewshire and Clydebank Burgh Constituency; and 2) joining the Kilpatrick Ward with Dumbarton, Lomond and Leven wards and two wards of Argyll and Bute Council to form the Dumbarton and Helensburgh County Constituency. 2.3 The Council duly objected to the proposals for both constituencies on the grounds that Kilpatrick Ward should not be split from the other two Clydebank wards and that the linking of Clydebank Central and Clydebank Waterfront wards with areas in Renfrewshire Council was anomalous and unacceptable. 2.4 Where a local authority submits an objection to a proposed boundary, a Local Inquiry must be held.

    NORTH LANARKSHIRE COUNCIL To: POLICY AND RESOURCES Subject: SIXTH REVIEW OF UNITED COMMITTEE KINGDOM PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUENCIES - REVISED PROPOSALS From: HEAD OF CENTRAL SERVICES Date: 13 September 2012 Ref: JAFAL 1. Purpose of Report 1.1 On Thursday, 13 September 2012 the Boundary Commission for Scotland published its revised proposals for United Kingdom Parliamentary Constituencies for an eight week final public consultation period. This report advises the Committee of those revised proposals and makes recommendations on action in response to the final consultation. 2. Background 2.1 At its meeting on 1 December 201 1, the Committee noted the statutory requirement for a review of United Kingdom Parliamentary Constituencies, the initial proposals formulated by the Boundary Commission for Scotland and the consultation arrangements. The Committee then agreed to appoint a Working Group to give consideration to the initial proposals and, at its meeting on 15 December 2011, the Council noted the recommendations of the Working Group and approved, for submission, a consultation response. 2.2 At its meeting on 1 December 2011 the Committee noted also that, following the initial twelve week consultation period, the Boundary Commission for Scotland would publish on its website the representations received and the record of the public hearings and would invite written comments during a further period of four weeks. This was done and, at its meeting on 14 March 2012, the Council noted the consultation responses and approved a submission which, with the benefit of additional considerations arising from the consultation responses, adhered to the initial consultation submissions made by the Council. 2.3 Having considered all responses, the Boundary Commission for Scotland has now published revised proposals for an eight week final public consultation period.
